I have a Acer aspire m3970 with ipisb-vr rev 1.01 current bios is P02-A2. it came with an i3 2120. since then i have put an i5 2400 in it. night and day difference! I have just gotten a i7 3770 and tried to put it in and i got 4 beebs. Put the i5 back in and it works perfect. upon reading I've discovered that i need to update my bios to P03-A3 to support ivy bridge, so i dowloaded the bios (ivy bridge with usb 3.0 support) from the acer drivers fro my comp and when i try to flash it from dos it says "File Size Does Not Match Existing BIOS Size" i have searced and searched for a manual for this MB but i have found nothing. How am i supposed to upgrade from sandy bridge to ivy bridge? ps you could originally buy these comps with i7's in them but they were probably 26- 2700's. Apparently this comp has the same board as a gateway DX 4860.

Mfg Date: 2012/02/08. However, your specs show DD2 ram support. Mine uses DD3. Is this interchangeable? My CPU is in an IntelCore i5-2320 SR)2L 3.00 GHZ Costa Rica 3203B304. If my components comparable would be interested in your board.
